Thomas Raethel‘s poem: A Truth that is All Truth

Behind each

Readable letter

Beyond every 

Reasonable eye

Across each

Relatable ear

Above every

Repeatable chatter; 


    Is 

 A truth;

  That is 

 A unified truth 

  And 

 A crucified truth 

A truth that is 

 A cerebral truth 

 And 

 A visceral truth 

A truth that is 

 A platinum truth 

And 

 A phantom truth 

A truth that is 

  A subtle truth

  And

  A sublime truth

A truth that is 

  An absolute truth 

  And 

  An abstract truth 

 A truth that is 

  A secular truth

  And 

  A singular truth;


Is 

Self-existent. 

And is

Self-resistant. 


Upon a straight ride

Of an adamant end 

Ever-forwarding,

And

Up to a serpent roll

Of a vehement bend

Never floundering. 


All the earnest eyes

And  

All the sloppiest ears 

Safeguarding,

And 

Endangering; 


A truth

That is

All truth 

That which 

All will show;

In their monochrome,

And 

In their multicolour.

And

That which 

None will know:

In their minuscule,

And

In their magnitude.
